When Kanye compares himself to Steve Jobs, Walt Disney and other white men—as if Kanye as Kanye isn’t enough—it’s an insecurity that rests on this notion that breaking whatever glass ceiling there is for black men, placing oneself at the top of the game, doesn’t cut it. It’s understandable, considering the fact that not many rappers are comfortable being #2, but except for the Michael Jordan comparison every now and then, Kanye rarely says he’s the [insert black person] of said genre. Why? Because that would be redundant, yes, but also: he’s trying to live up to a standard that says white is right. A standard quite different from Pharrell’s, which leans more on black status.

No, you dumb bytch, it's because there are aren't enough black people in those positions of power. That was his whole point.

But he has compared himself to Jordan, Obama, Jay-Z, so this shyt is retarded anyway.
